Ruam P. F. A. Pimentel
I have made visualizations viewed by hundreds of thousands of people1, sped up query times for 25 terabytes of data by an average of 4,800 times2, and built packages for R3 that let you do magic4.
Currently searching for a position that allows me to build tools leveraging a combination of visualization, machine learning, and software engineering to help people explore and understand their data in new and useful ways.
